Towns and Towers — a mod for new structures in Minecraft

Towns and Towers adds over 50 new structures to Minecraft's world generation — villages, pillager outposts, sea vessels and several standalone objects. The architecture is inspired by real-world styles — from Scandinavian to Mediterranean — and uses blocks characteristic of each specific biome. It runs server-side, so installation on the client is optional. 

Villages 

The mod contains 18 base village variants, each tied to a specific biome. They can be found using the /locate command and the corresponding identifier:

The styling adapts to the surroundings. In the Mushroom Fields the houses are made of mushroom blocks. In the jungle they are hidden among the vegetation. The swamp village stands over the water. The beach village resembles a fishing settlement, in places with a lighthouse. 

Vanilla logic is fully preserved: villagers have professional workstations, a bell stands in the centre, and iron golems and cats roam the streets. Chests use standard loot tables with minor additions — food, armour and other items. 

There is also a separate village_ocean — a settlement of villagers on the water. The sea vessels are home to NPCs of various professions you can trade with right in the middle of the ocean.

Exclusive villages 

Another 9 village variants are marked as exclusives — they only appear when a compatible world generation mod is used at the same time. Without the corresponding generation mod these structures will not appear and the /locate command will not find them. 

Pillager outposts 

The mod contains over 20 base outpost variants and 8 exclusive ones. The outposts cover far more biomes than the vanilla game — from desert and swamp to snowy beach and ocean.

Instead of a single standard wooden tower, you get camps, fortresses, ruins and towers with varied architecture. pillager_outpost_ocean is a pillager galleon in the deep ocean, a hostile structure with armed mobs and loot chests. pillager_outpost_savanna is a massive tower dominating the plain. pillager_outpost_grove and pillager_outpost_snowy_slopes are fortresses in snowy biomes. 

Pillagers spawn around the outposts by vanilla rules. After being cleared, some structures make ready-made bases — they have walls, a roof and interior space. 

Other structures 

This category contains two standalone structures:

• wreckage_ocean — the wreckage of a ship on the water surface in ordinary ocean biomes. A smaller structure with scattered loot.

• mimic_desert — a structure in the desert.

Conclusion

Towns and Towers adds — villages, pillager outposts, and in the oceans ships of villagers and pillagers appear. More than 50 structures in total. The mod adds only new structures without touching the vanilla ones, while 17 buildings require a third-party generation mod to appear in the world. It suits long-term survival with active exploration of new territories and servers that need a higher density of points of interest on the map.
